Can nobody with skills be found in the USA to be trusted to work on US computer systems for US law enforcement?
Do people in the US private sector get invited to work on US law enforcement sensitive software?
Does the FBI not trust US experts with security clearances to write quality code on time for the FBI?
Has the FBI had some bad past experiences software created and supported domestiaclly?
Did the US workers sell or copy code from law enfacement for another nations/criminal groups/their own use so it was time to trust something different?
What do programmers in other nations like France have that the FBI cannot find in security cleared graduates and engineers domestically?
What did the French do better in the math and science education that they can out smart everyone in the US that could have completed a US law enforcement sensitive project?
What did the French do that so that impressed the FBI during the procurement that locked out people from the USA?
Did the French software do calculations on US hardware faster? Was the GUI more pretty and more ready for law enforcement needs? Did it work with other US law enforcement databases in better ways?
What can loyal, hardworking US brands do to win back the trust of the FBI and once again sell quality US designed software to the US government again?
The same way smart spy agencies and competitors have always done. They have the skills to find weak minded workers with site clearance and make them an offer.
The nice way of getting a spy on site:
Lots of money can work with people with money problems, a gambling addiction, an illegal hidden addiction that their wage cant support.
Given how accounts and spending habits are now tracked in the USA, UK by the security services, thats not as good unless the well disciplined worker keeps the cash until after they change jobs.
A real passport and new life with their family in any other nation and lots of money for people disillusioned with their nation, faith, politics.
Thats hard for the security services to find out about as the offer is verbal and on trust.
If that person is loyal and will not betray their nation?
Blackmail them over some real lifestyle, criminal interest. A good, normal, loyal person who is not into criminal things? Create an indiscretion and then blackmail the person.
It takes time and skill but most nations find or create a cleared person who will do what is needed on site.
The USA and UK spend billions on collecting all network data globally.
Other nations spend a few million on creating and helping a few people advance in a few well placed jobs.
No need to sneak special forces, penetration testers around. The data just walks out day after day thanks to a trusted worker on the inside.
Finding and coercing a trusted worker who works in the secure room/site is not the most difficult part. Not altering the system been copied from is the neat trick.
No logs, firewall, OS changes. Just the exact data copied out. No trace, questions, logs, code litter. Back again next shift.
Re "the attacker" will be trusted staff. They don't have to worry about "security cameras" or "security". They work in the secure area all day.
Turned by an offer of a better life, bribe, love, blackmail. Just having their cell phone infected after been identified as a worker with clearance.
An infected cell phone just for that person and mission that turns on when in the secure area of the company or mil site of interest.
The same type of staff who walk in with usb for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... might also walk in with a malware infected cell phone?
The trusted user and their now malware infected and "on" cell phone is close enough.
Leaking electromagnetic emanations give the NSA and GCHQ entire nations mil/embassy plain text just by been near the decoded plain text been printed.
A ceiling, wall cavity, tunnel under an embassy.
France lost its entire diplomatic encryption system in the 1950's to the UK and USA by not understanding more about its embassy communications systems.
A decade later France stopped giving away all its embassy work.
More is lost to lower cost nations. Indonesia, Vietnam, China, The Philippines are all ready to offer much lower overall costs to anyone wanting to set up in their nations. Move your entire company over and start saving. Well educated people are ready to work for less.
Indian owned companies are moving to the lower wages on offer for profit and better support in other parts of the world.
Why stay in India just for the educated workers? A very small front company can be set up in the USA, UK to handle legal work and interface with the government, US/UK mil, private sector. A few locals with the needed security clearance to bid for US/UK contracts.
The actual work can be done at a much lower cost in other nations.
Profit for the company owner in India and more work on offer with much lower total wage costs.
India is getting too expensive for the kind of work that was once attracting outsourcing on cost.
Other well educated low cost nations will change their entire tax and legal system to bring in new jobs. The USA and UK will follow the lower costs on offer.
Thats the problem with only been able to offer low costs. Sooner or later some other educated nation can get that cost for down too.
The advanced GUI and cpu support needed for the brilliance of a Lisa OS is too much for a Raspberry.
Supporting a new systemd OS on Raspberry will allow many more applications to work on Raspberry.
A new method to sway Russian election is needed so a new person compromised by the CIA can win Russian election.
Use full powers of CIA anthropologists to study Russian mind.
A diverse set of US graduates end up working for CIA, many will have good ideas on how to alter Russian elections.
The past efforts of innovate Colour revolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... attempts are now well understood by most nations security services the CIA wants to change governments in.
Security services watch US and UK embassy, see who is moving funds to NGO front, pro democracy groups funded by CIA, fake political party.
Use local Russian funds from Russians with no link to US embassy and NATO EU embassy.
Find Russian educated in West. Law or business degree from top US, UK university is good start for list. A hidden, compromised, decadent lifestyle in West that CIA, MI6 knows about and can control Russian candidate years later with is best.
Make sure the Russian candidate is photogenic and can speak good english. Good english for 24 hour US news cycle.
Give them lots of money via CIA front Russian NGO, Russian pro democracy support groups, CIA backed civil society fronts in Russia. Russian money from CIA direct supporting Russian candidate. No funding direct from US embassy out into Moscow that can be discovered.
US embassy staff drive car full of cash, change coat, put on wig does not work anymore.
Ensure CIA backed candidate is not sick and will not have health related problem seen on camera when visiting all over Russia.
Do not dress CIA candidate in Mao suit. Keep appearance to latest Moscow fashions or for appropriate sport event.
Ensure candidate is fit, healthy, charismatic and can do some sport. Stage such news and sport events all over Russia.
Never allow CIA candidate to lecture many people who will vote outside Moscow about their way of life. CIA candidate should have stamina to visit all parts of Russia and give good quality speeches many times.
Make speech relevant to that part of Russia. Use local terms, know city name, sport result, talk of past visit to area and mention local culture. Jobs, health care, education, sport, energy costs, pension, science, food, computers, math, chess, dogs, bears, looking after nature, religion are safe topics in Russian and people can enjoy.
Make sure candidate is not sick, has energy to give speech on time and for set time all over Russia. CIA really has to understand that part is vital to win in Russia. A healthy candidate wins hearts and minds.
Talking to tame press on flight for 5 mins is not a speech.
Pay for CIA candidate to use social media and traditional media to maximum advantage. Radio, television, internet, US social media. Ensue US media and social media owners understands this is pro America candidate that is to get positive coverage and all interviews. Make tame US social media owners totally derank all other Russian news. Use NSL to ensure total compliance. Ask US law enforcement to chat with recalcitrant US media owners who do not fully support CIA plans for Russia.
US media and EU media has to be on message with CIA candidate in Russia for full 24h news cycle.
Make candidate be supported by older people and voters who vote for first time in Russia by using positive words in long speech voters can enjoy.
What to do just before election?
Do not just hack Russian election computer results after vote. Russia is good at math and a vote count that will not add up looks strange. Use CIA teams to support different individuals all over Russia to fill in many extra votes. Then it looks like regional support and vote count math is correct. Sway vote at many ballot box. Altering count after vote is too late and people can add up the hacked vote changes. Dont add more fake votes than actual voters in part of Russia. 250% election win attracts unwanted questions.
The Soviet Union and Russian pipelines got paid. Just the cost of energy. Thats why the nations of Europe wanted pipelines into the Soviet Union and Russia years ago. A pipeline is a very easy and low cost way of getting energy from Russia into Western Europe.
That is why nations in the EU keep going back to low cost Russian energy for generations.
The Soviet Union and Russia kept to every agreement nations the EU agreed to. All the gas flowed at an agreed price.
Bringing in energy by ship to a new port with all ints new costs is not going to be a cost saving to budgets that are limited.
Re "gas in general is getting too expensive" if you want to bring it in by ship.
The pipeline from Russia is in place, working and ready for any energy deal nations in the EU want.
Pay for ports and ships? Buy lots of energy at a low cost for Russia? Whats better for a growing EU economy? Low cost dependable energy?
Expanding ports, doing deals for ships and bringing in energy from random other nations?
The Soviet Unions and Russian energy deals with nations of the EU go back many years.
That was the problem. All the education went to just putting random people in front of a new computer. Any new computer.
The students got to copy type in a slow computer language only used for education.
All that funding was moved from supporting university math, CS to paying for new school desktop computers all around the UK.
Government support for production lines jobs to put computer parts together for "education" took university funds. A massive move of financial support from the university setting to just building computers for education from fully imported parts.
The university system never recovered. The school education produced average students with no more useful skills in math, science than any other generation.
Decades later the lack of university graduates with actual math, CS skills showed.
The goverment knew it needed math, science, computer graduates. Instead of looking after the best students at university it took the funding and spent in on desktop computers and the needed educational computer languages.
Students who would have never needed, used or understood a computer got to sit in front of a new computer and copy in code.
Good students never got the support needed to get into university. The university system that could have educated the needed experts for generations got its funding reduced to pay for new computers in schools.
So their own people get good jobs first?
The people from the UK who stayed in university and graduated well? Why should they have their jobs taken by a person just wondering into the UK and demanding the right to work?
A more restricted guest worker placement system stops people entering the UK, taking a job and then demanding the "right" to stay in the UK and keep the job. Then demand an old age pension and to bring other people into the UK?
Government funded health care into old age?
Just for getting one job many years ago?
While a more restrictive guest worker system is in place UK education can produce the same needed gradates. A vocational training system can produce the more skilled workers too. Everything can be done to fill most jobs can be supported within the UK.
The UK can catch up with what is lacking in its own education system while using guest workers in the short term and then return the guest workers to their own nation when the work is done.
Count every guest worker in. Count every guest worker out. If they really want to stay they can apply when back in their own nation again. Just like anyone wishing to live in the UK they can formally with with others wanting that privilege. A guest worker system is not a free pathway to the right to just overstay in a nation.
The vetting keeps out criminals, people with no english skills, people with no actual education that can be used in the UK, people who are sick and need a lot of health care.
Vetting also shows if the person with the needed skills is actually the person who is taking the job. Not a person who stole or created a set of documents to get into the UK with the cover of a set of documents.
Vetting can allow a disruptive persons character to be sorted from people who want to change UK laws to that of their own.
People who have caused problems in their own nation or while been in other nations.
Thought experiment:)
End a file in mp4? html?.zip?
What draws in very average social media users?
A boring old html page?
A mp4 file? Thats a movie and as they know the personality of the sender it will be boring, safe for work. .zip, its a mystery and could have compressed fun files. Something found by their boring friend who might just have found something fun?
Some security researcher, a person in social media middle management must have that stat? The file type link most users actually click on most of the time?
Surrounding nation now have their own nuclear, wind, hydro, solar power to sell.
They want to export too.
The good power deals that got done was for West Germany and communist eastern Europe.
Poor nations sold their power to West Germany at a low price while their own people did without energy.
A lot of the heavy energy use domestically has also been lost by the EU to exporting nations like China, South Korea, Japan.
AC re Russian price manipulation?
Nations in free Europe and the Soviet Union worked on a gas network. The network was built and nations in free Europe could then buy gas if they wanted.
The Soviet Union delivered a set amount of gas for a set price. No changes to the price after the contract by the Soviet Union.
Russia now delivers a set amount of gas at a price nations in free Europe want to pay for.
The gas flows from Russia as agreed and then new contracts are agreed on.
Russia cannot do retroactive "price manipulation" as the contract is signed before the gas flows. The price is agreed and then the gas is delivered for that set price.
If the price was going to be too much for nations in free Europe they are free to not sign the next contract and consider the costs of new gas imports with ships.
Ship cost compared to established pipe line? Russian gas price is found to be very competitive and the nations of free Europe get the gas they paid for.
AC its one person paying too much for power having their money taken and redistributed to others to show "renewables" works.
Someone is paying for that power and the "free" payments.
Why would anyone allow their family to be spied on by an advertizing company?
Words spoken, search terms, comments been sent to some advertizing company?
Re "That's an interesting assertion."
Some nations have tested that.
i.e. who has a weak personality, who only gets a low security clearance, who could be unrealiable. https://www.wired.com/2006/12/...
Guest workers would be for a short term lack of professionals in a nation.
Once the education system has caught up with that lack of graduates, the number of guest workers can be reduced.
Count every guest worker in, count every guest worker out after the set time for their job has ended.
If a person wants to stay in there UK, let them apply for that in a more formal way.
Staying on after been granted entry as guest worker and just expecting special consideration to stay?
Other people who applied to stay in the UK legally and not not used the guest worker system to sneak in would have first consideration.
A guest worker system is for people who expect to return to their own nation after they got one job over a short term.
Not to them change jobs while in another nation and demand the right to stay on.
Not to then demand decades of work and an old age pension after staying on.
Re "for no reason?"
Western companies and their SJW staff are willing to support the communist legal system if they think the Communist party profits will flow back into their fully complaint company.
Total censorship is no problem for western companies if they think they will be protected in a Communist nation.
Once they have shown a good attitude western companies who fully supported communism might also get to block emerging global completion.
Entering a new market and having a near monopoly? Thats win win in a communist nation.
